There is a Void of SAVOR Week, But Will There Be A SAVOR Void?

Is this week the last SAVOR? Can two breweries become a Gundam? These questions are answered in this week’s edition.

Welcome to SAVOR week, everyone. The big news about this SAVOR week above all others is the sense that this one is more subdued than in previous years. It’s one less day and the feeling is that there are fewer events and less bandwidth for events. There are still plenty to go to, especially if you like imp stouts, but the days of a laundry list of events night after night seem to be over.

Not only that, but our own Jake Berg says this year will likely be the last, with official word potentially coming as early as Friday, but more than likely later this year. Enjoy it while you can. It’s been a good run for a unique event. Get out there and drink the Fremont before it goes away for a while.

Before this news came out, the bigger news in the Void was slated to be the new Denizens spot getting an opening day in Riverdale Park, MD. Things change in a hurry. But go check that spot out at the end of the month as well.

Each week, Tony Budny pens SCREAMING INTO THE VOID and looks at the best in writing and social media conversation around the biggest issues in beer.
